Support NeoGAF

[snack]

No clue, but that's why I switched from white to black on my order. I'd rather not risk it.

Any case suggestions?

This Spigen one looks pretty cool:

Same. I went with black because I didn't want to risk it either.

Looks like a solid release from google and LG. Interested to see how the battery and camera holds up. Once again, verizon customers get the big FU on nexus releases. Glad I didn't hold off buying a iphone 5s (I'm on verizon and didn't expect nexus 5 to release on my carrier).

Just so things are clear, it's Verizon handing out the FUs here...

It probably would work on Verizon if you could make them activate the sim card on their network. The Nexus 7 LTE page used to say it supported Verizon, but Verizon has refused to activate them on their network.. so Google had to remove them from the supported carrier list so that people don't buy them with the expectation of using them on Verizon.

 

[Exis]

Ordered my 32 gig Nexus 5!
Now I gotta decide, Sprint or Tmobile.

 

[FallingEdge]

Leaves warehouse by Nov 5. Booooo. Anyone get anything earlier?

 

[Vostro]

This is tempting. Been wanting to move to T-Mobile from Virgin. Will probably wait when the reviews are in.

 

[killertofu]

Damnit Verizon.

 

[-COOLIO-]

What happens in two years when they get to seven?

the number is based on screen size.

itll be the 2014 nexus 5

Nov 5 (Remember remember the 5th of November) is the earliest date. I heard some people's orders leave by November 8th.

 

[Nakazato]

still happy with my S3 but starting to crave new hardware

nexus 6 will be mine

.

 

[northead]

Bought the 32GB White.
Order has been completed and is now "Pending" (anyone else?)

Should leave the warehouse in Dublin on Monday a get here in a couple days.
Consider me excited.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

16 GB Black is sold out.

 

[Certinty]

£310?

Expected it to be cheaper.

 

[rrs]

Time to wait seven years for it to come to Virgin Mobile I guess.

 

[ReconPeon]

Do you think any of the Nokia wireless chargers will work with this?

 

[Arjen]

It is available right now from various sites such as Bel Simpel and Studentmobiel for a (more reasonable than Nexus 4) price of €399 for the 16GB.

Sweet, thanks, placed my order.

They could possibly make the LTE work on Verizon, but Verizon only handles data through LTE so you still wouldn't be able to make voice calls, send texts, etc.

Can't decide between ringke slim and fusion for the N5.

I am using the fusion with my N4, would like to try the slim for N5 but not sure if it offers the same kind of protection as the former.

Also, both spigen and ringke cases are cheaper than amazon on ebay. (at least for me since I'm in AU)

Dublin??

But I'm in Dublin and I can't buy one because they're not available in the ROI...

Do you think if I drive to the warehouse and ask for one they'll oblige?

 

[Ovid]

I would get this in white.

Looking at that and the Ringke Slim since it's a lot cheaper, but I doubt it would offer the same protection.

Also, any recommended Qi chargers?

 

[JCX]

Trying to pick between this, Note 3, and Moto X.

 

[Mercury Fred]

Very cool. I got a Nexus 4 last year so I can't quite justify this along with the PS4. Although if it comes back into stock, I may ask for one for Christmas.

 

[Arken2121]

I thought the 32gb was coming with a larger battery. Am I missing something?

 

[Pangya]

I got this case along with the 32GB black.

I had a pure TPU caseology case before and liked the way it felt. Not sure how this hybrid case would feel.

I'm also "Pending" and have yet to receive a confirmation email from Google.

 

[CreepingFear]

Oh man. I worked out so I made sure to setup google wallet for my mom and I had her order it for me. My first smart phone! I'm so excited!

 

[-COOLIO-]

Trying to pick between this, Note 3, and Moto X.

what do you like about the other two? frankly i dont see how they're even competitive unless you really want a bigger or smaller screen.

 

[massivekettle]

That was a false rumour.

 

[Shambles]

The disconnect between rumours and reality.

Thanks! I love the price! Compared to this:

Hmmm I'm having troubles deciding between the two cases. Help Gaf!

 

[Arken2121]

Ah I appreciate it. 16GB for me then. Cannot fucking wait! I've had this GS2 for a while and I've dropped it close to 20 times and modded the shit out of it to the point where it barely lasts 2 hours.

 

[ChainedMaster]

He probably likes the "always listening" and "shake to go to camera". Those do seem like pretty cool features.

 

[BertramCooper]

Good luck guys, I really love my Nexus 4. I'm skipping this one and probably biting on the next.

I probably would have stuck with my Nexus 4 for another year if the camera were better.

I'll probably stick with the Nexus 5 for two years, though. It seems a lot more future-proof than the N4.

 

[Rengoku]

New Wireless Charger. Should be up on play store later today:

WTF... Why even bother giving a hands on... This guy clearly has a bias against all Android phones before even picking the thing up.

This guy:
- Scrolling is laggy, like all android devices
- Camera has OIS and HDR+... we'll see how it goes, cameras on Android devices aren't good

 

[snacknuts]

Trying to pick between this, Note 3, and Moto X.

No idea why you would get a Moto X instead of this. If I had the option between the Note 3 and this (I'm on Verizon, so I don't), it would have been a tough choice. The battery on the Note is great, the camera is great, and the S-Pen is great. But it costs basically double and I don't know that any of those things make it twice as good, especially when you consider the "cost" of not getting future updates to the Note in a timely fashion.

[LostInNoise]

I believe this uses a MIcro-SIM Card correct? If anyone is jumping ship from Verizon (like me!) or any other carrier and wants to go to T-Mobile, here's a link to the Prepaid SIM Card Activation Kit. Thanks to the web discount, it's free:

I didn't even bother watching it. The Verge is so predictable.

 

[JCX]

The screen size is the biggest draw for the Note. I've tried it out in person, but it still seems a bit large for my hands.

Is this sold at Sprint stores as well, or only Google Play?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

How do I order this in Canada? It states that they cant ship to my address! :/

is there a CDN link?

 

[Wag]

Just ordered my 32GB White. (still pending)

So is there any advantage to a normal case to a holster style? I'm leaning towards more the holster style you find on Amazon like this one.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

FYI, they're sold out (tested a link out of curiosity; keeping the 4 for at least another year or so).

 

[BertramCooper]

So in the email order confirmations, is anyone getting a ship-by date earlier than November 5?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

What the fuck, Google?!!

 

[Rootbeer]

never owned an android device... but kinda want to dive in, is this the device for me? if I buy this direct from google can I still get a decent LTE plan and pay less per month than if I had a contract? I'm trying to see what the advantages of buying off contract would be for me... aside from the obvious being able to switch to different carriers overseas, which is not something I plan on doing soon

Lmao. "Android cameras usually aren't that great. But I guess I should try it out to see how it goes.

 

[Knight77]

Hey guys please help !

I just ordered the black 16GB, got my money taken by Google but on the webpage it show this (rough translation)

"Order not completed
The elaboration of your order is taking a bit more time than the usual. We will inform you via mail when your order will be completed. The operation might require until 15 minutes."

Is it normal? Please let me know!

Thanks
